Coventry sprinter Marlon Devonish launches a busy end to his season at the Norwich Union Challenge in Glasgow tomorrow.

The Commonwealth Games silver and European championship bronze medallist at 200 metres, Devonish runs for Britain in the match at Scotstoun against the United States and Russia.

From there the Godiva Harrier moves on to Crystal Palace for the British Grand Prix meeting next Friday, and after an outing at the Ivo Van Damme Memorial meeting in Brussels, Devonish hopes to finish with a flourish at the World Cup in Madrid a month from now.

Devonish has two other wishes - to meet up again with European gold medallist Kostas Kenteris, and to break the 20-second barrier.

"It's a tall order, I'm really tired after the last few weeks and training on nothing, but I'd like to go under," said Devonish.

"And I'd like to think that Kenteris will be at one of the meetings and that I can make him run harder - and beat him."

With two sprint relay gold medals as well, it has already been the 26-year-old's best senior season by some way.

"I'm very pleased with the way it has gone," he said. "I won ump-teen junior medals and now it's nice to come through and win some at senior level.

"I've kept on delivering but it has taken a while for me to get to this profile.

"We retained our relay titles, which was very satisfying, and the time we produced in Munich showed to us that we can take on the Americans.

"Out of all of it, if I do have a disappointment it's in the way I ran in the final of the European 200.

"I ran faster in my semi-final, and if I'm being honest I think there were a few technical problems.

"I wasn't expecting Kenteris to run as fast as 19.85 - that was something special.

"A sub-20 was in me that night and the opportunity was there for me to do it, but he put me under pressure and I didn't respond.
